As for dogs, the Iditadog is what is known as an "Alaskan husky." They are mixed breeds (mutts) and no longer look much like a Siberian Husky (true pure blooded husky) much less an Alaskan Malamute. The Iditarod dog weighs 40-55 lbs. An Alaskan Malamute such as the ones I have are anywhere from 130-200+ lbs. Siberians are in the 50 lb range but are actually considered larger than the dogs we see competing here. The mushers in Alaska refer to the Siberians as "Slowberians." They are not as fast as the mixed breeds which are used in these mushing events. However, both the Siberian and it's much larger ancestor the Malamute are stronger and better equiped for the cold. Malmutes do well in temps as low as -70 and I believe the same may be true for Siberians, though I've never had one.
To appreciate the size and "presence" of an Alaskan Malamute one must see one in the flesh. The dog in with me in my profile photo is Boaz. He passed away two years ago at 12 but was healthy and strong up till the end. He was 150-160 lbs and pound for pound stronger than a horse. Very independent and intelligent as well. The independent factor was bred into the Malamute years ago by the Alaskan Natives. The purpose was that these dogs could take their master home even if he were incapacitated. They also only needed about 3-5 on a sled becuase of their great strength. Size-wise they are comprable to a St. Bernard.
I'm going to post a phenominal photo taken by a local photog. It's one of my favorites and it's entiteled courage. The dog is a white Mal and he is chained. The bear was interested in the dog's food. I understand the dog discouraged the bear and kept his food.
God bless,

Yes, the Iditarod requires very a serious commitment. Plus, there are numerous other races that one must compete in before they can compete. After the initial prerequisites are completed the musher can then sign on and is considered a rooky. Not only is there a full time job in managing, training and careing for the dogs there is also personal fitness to be considered as sleep deprivation and extreme cold also enter into the equation.
Our winter has been relatively normal. First snow in September and still plenty of it on the ground. That being said it's been up and down temp wiise. Yesterday it was 5 above, today it's 25 above. But I live in a very "temperate" part of the state. So it never gets too cold in winter nor too hot in summer. When I lived in Fairbanks in 1981-82 it got to be -60 ambient. The coldest I've seen it here in Palmer was -35 and only once or twice in 15 years.

No, we haven't time for that. Raising sled dogs to run in the Iditarod is a full time job. Most kennels have upwards of 70 dogs in them and all of them require fitness training as well as the everyday tasks of feeding and care. My dogs are Alaskan Malamutes and are 3 to 4 times larger than today's Alaskan husky (aka Iditadog). Malamutes are freighting dogs not racing dogs and as such not anything like the mixed breeds that run in today's mushing events.
Speaking of the Iditarod, it began today from Willow. You may have seen the tv coverage in Anchorage but that is only a "press" start and not the acutal race.
Anywho, my resposibilities to God and His Word do not afford me the time it would take to do anything beyond recreational mushing and that most infrequently. Having said that, we did breed our M'Loot Mals for a time and in doing so provided ample dna for two kennels which have in turn re-populated Alaska with genuine Malamutes.
If you saw the movie 8 Below you may have noticed the two Malamutes at least one of which was red and white. They came from a kennel on the Kenai Peninsula south of us and both are related to my dog Boaz who was the last of the greatest of blood lines.

On Mexico...I used to think that way about Mexico, but in the past several years, I've flown down there a fair amount, and some friends enticed us into going to Playa del Carmen with them a year and a half ago...Carolyn & I were looking for another place to consider part-time retirement and we really began to like that area...along the Mayan Riviera...very different than border towns and the local people love Americans/Europeans.
Buys are great in Florida right now and Mexico prices have crumbled too...nice and warm!!!
